“Into the Woods,” will be performed by the young actors of Stages, A Children’s Theatre Workshop, Inc., at Southampton High School, 141 Narrow Lane, on Friday, August 24th at 7:30 PM, Saturday, August 25th at 7:30 PM and Sunday, August 26th at 3:00 PM. “Into the Woods” wittily combines the stories of old, favorite fairy tale characters, Cinderella, Jack, and Little Red Riding Hood, with the story of new fairy tale characters, the Baker and his Wife. The Baker and his Wife are a childless couple, who, in order to have a child, endeavor to break the curse cast on their family. They, humorously, wander through our familiar fairy tales as all the characters set out on their merry romp into the woods to seek “happily ever after.” Along the way they meetRapunzel, a wicked Witch, the nasty Wolf, scary Giants, and a couple of charming Princes among others. But after the happy expected conclusions, then, they must all deal with what happens after “happily ever after.” This sophisticated, extravagant and fun-loving musical is a treat for the whole family.“Into the Woods” with music & lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, opened on Broadway in 1987, directed by James Lapine and starring Bernadette Peters.Helene Leonard will direct and choreograph Stages’ production of “Into the Woods.” Musical accompaniment will be provided by Amanda Jones and James Benard.
